Twitter user Don Kollins shared a clip from KTVU, a Fox-owned station servicing California's Bay Area. The video shows Banff National Park incorrectly placed near Ottawa, which is more than 3,000 kilometres away from its actual southern Alberta location.

Fox TV spokeswoman Victoria Gurrieri told HuffPost Canada the network deeply regrets the error. The image appears to show an arrow pointing to a place near the southern Ontario-Quebec border. Parks Canada's headquarters are located in Gatineau, Que., which might have been the cause for confusion.

Banff National Park is one of Canada's most popular attractions. Reader's Digest described it as "one of the best places to visit" in the country, putting it No. 1 on its top 10 list of places every Canadian needs to visit.

The network was reporting on real news at the time. Three highly experienced mountain climbers were killed last week in an avalanche at the park, which is located 126 kilometres west of Calgary.

Multiple news outlets, including CNN and the BBC, identified the victims as European climbers David Lama and Hansjörg Auer, plus American Jess Roskelley.
